Heart Wise Exercise: Cardio, Weights & Poles

This webinar will include a 35-min. class with Nordic walking poles (the poles are used as accessories, we won't be Nordic walking!). No experience is required; all you need to participate is a pair of Urban Poling or other Nordic walking poles (if available), a pair of light dumbbells (or cans), a little space to move, and some water. 

You'll enjoy energizing, basic, non-intimidating choreography set to fun, upbeat music. The class includes: warm-up, cardio, upper body resistance training, balance training, and a stretch/cooldown. The class is suitable for people of all ages, mobility and fitness levels. 

Presenters: 

  • Barb Gormley, Heart Wise Exercise Instructor
